Oh no you wouldn't....
I HAD an Accord... had pretty much the same thing with it on and off - and the worst thing was, on fast roads, the back end seemed to be REALLY floaty or detached. I know for sure the shocks weren't gone, cos I had them checked.
My Civ also creaks a little, cold or not, over high ridges and speed bumps, and there's been a curious "knocking" from around the rear end (of the car you mucky sods!) - almost as if its the suspension "settling" - I do park it with one side on the (rather low) kerb..... Or it could be the boot settling on its seals I guess... even stones in the brakes.... even.... even... ALL OF THAT....
But yeah, its annoying how little things can detract from making a car GOOD to GREAT. Even the sun visor creaks/rattles and THAT does p*ss me off no end. I don't do rattles.
